What Our Customers are Saying

"We found all of the employees with whom we in contact from the sales representative to the installers to be knowledgeable and professional. All our questions were answered satisfactorily which is why we decided panels installed. We were also impressed with the company’s A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau.” – Pat S. – Boston

"Our first two bills were approximately $300.00 less than before and our third bill, just received was down about $250.00 from what we were paying! We think it is fantastic!" - William R. - Waltham MA

"They did a wonderful job on my system and I would recommend them to my family and friends!" - Georg S. - Chicopee MA

I cannot express my gratitude for going forward with solar panels. From the initial meeting to discuss the possibility to the techs who eventually installed them. But most of all, it is the savings we have experienced. That first month was unbelievable. Solar plus our other electric source combined was less than our usual monthly expense. During the summer when our electric usage is higher because of the air conditioning, our monthly expense was still less than what we have paid with past summer usage. And if that’s not enough…our present electricity is primarily supplied by the solar panels. We have been building up a reserve with our other electricity source and will be able to draw from that all winter when our panels wont’t generate as much electricity. It’s a win-win situation that we’re just thrilled over. Having a fixed rate locked in is another great feature for savings.” – Virgil T. – Westport MA

About Solar Energy

Solar power is energy from the sun that is transformed into thermal or electrical energy.

Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable resource source available, and the United States has some of the richest solar resources worldwide. Modern innovation can harness this energy for a variety of usages, consisting of producing electricity, supplying light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water for domestic, commercial, or industrial usage.

Solar Benefits

Solar power makes it possible for home owners to utilize the sun to power everyday life: running your air conditioner, washing clothing, enjoying TELEVISION, cooking dinner. All while minimizing your carbon footprint, and without burning fossil fuels or putting a stress on the electrical grid. And while the ecological advantages of solar power are substantial, lots of homeowners find that the benefit, special features, and expense savings of owning a solar power system are a lot more alluring.

Top Ten Benefits of Solar Energy

#1 Dramatically reduce or even eliminate your electrical costs

Whether you're a house owner, service, or nonprofit, electrical power costs can comprise a large part of your monthly expenditures. With a photovoltaic panel system, you'll generate free power for your system's whole 25+ year lifecycle. Even if you don't produce One Hundred Percent of the energy you take in, solar will lower your energy expenses and you'll still conserve a great deal of cash.

#2 Earn an excellent return on your financial investment

Solar panels aren't a cost-- they're one of the very best methods to invest, with returns equaling those of more standard financial investments like stocks and bonds. Thanks to significant electricity costs savings, the average American house owner settles their photovoltaic panel system in 7 to eight years and sees an ROI of 20 percent or more.

#3 Safeguard versus rising energy costs

Among the most clear cut benefits of solar panels is the ability to hedge energy costs. In the past 10 years, property electrical power prices have gone up by approximately three percent annually. By investing in a solar energy system now, you can fix your electrical energy rate and safeguard against unforeseeable increases in electrical power costs. If you're a service or house owner with rising and falling cash flow, going solar also helps you better forecast and handle your expenses.

#4 Boost your residential or commercial property value

Several studies have discovered that houses equipped with solar energy systems have greater property values and offer quicker than non-solar homes. Appraisers are significantly taking solar installations into consideration as they value homes at the time of a sale, and as property buyers end up being more informed about solar, need for properties equipped with photovoltaic panel systems will continue to grow.

#5 Boost U.S. energy independence

The sun is a near-infinite source of energy and a key component of accomplishing energy independence in the United States. By increasing our capacity to generate electrical power from the sun, we can likewise insulate our nation from price variations in worldwide energy markets.

#6 Develop jobs and assist your local economy

According to The Solar Structure, the solar market included jobs at a rate nearly 12 times faster than the total U.S. economy in 2015, representing 1.2 percent of all tasks in the nation. This development is expected to continue. Because solar-related jobs have the tendency to be higher paying and can not be contracted out, they are a considerable contributor to the United States economy.

#7 Safeguard the environment

Solar is a great method to decrease your carbon footprint. Structures are responsible for 38 percent of all carbon emissions in the United States, and going solar can considerably reduce that number. A normal property solar panel system will eliminate 3 to four lots of carbon emissions each year-- the equivalent of planting over 100 trees yearly.

#8 Demonstrate your dedication to sustainability

Sustainability and corporate social duty are crucial parts of a company's culture and worths. They likewise produce bottom line outcomes. Progressively, customers and communities are acknowledging and rewarding organisations that opt to run responsibly. Organisations are discovering that "green" credentials are a powerful motorist of consumer buying choices, creating goodwill and enhancing company results.

#9 Start Saving from Day 1

Solar purchase power agreements (PPAs) and solar leasing has made it possible for house owners to go solar for little or no money down.

Numerous house owners pick to finance their photovoltaic panels with among the "pay-as-you-go" financing alternatives. This implies that a third-party company-- the solar provider-- owns the solar system and takes care of installation, maintenance, monitoring and repair works. You merely pay the solar provider for electrical energy-- less than you would've paid the energy business.

Since June 2013, 75% of all American homes have access to pay-as-you-go solar.

#10. Solar is a Secure Investment

The energy companies are notorious for their changing and undependable electrical energy costs. There is plainly an upward trend.

With photovoltaic panels and basic mathematics, we can compute just how much electrical energy will be produced, and most notably, at what rate, for at least the next Twenty Years (repaired energy expenses).

Financing

What are the various payment options?

We have many flexible purchasing agreements for customers who would like to install a new home solar system. There are three different payment options, making them a viable choice for customers of all budgets. The payment options include Lease, PPA, and Purchase.

We provide our customers with a few different options for when their lease contract is up. Customers can upgrade their equipment to the newest solar technology available, extend the agreement, or have the panels removed at no cost.

What is the warranty?

The Lease and PPA include a 20-year warranty during the lifetime of the system. This warranty exceeds that of most other solar installers’ warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I Get A Solar Panel?
Is It Good?
( Solar Energy)

Solar power works by capturing photons from the sun and storing their energy in a battery. Solar panels still only capture a very small amount of photons due to technology/distance from the sun/ and probably a number of other reasons. If you wanted to buy a solar panel, you find a company that sells them, send them your electric bill for the past year or so. They calculate the energy restraints, size and additional technical mumbo jumbo. They tell you how much it costs and how much money you could save. Some people might buy a size larger than what they need, in which case they sell the excess energy to your local power company for a few pennies a month(this is usually not very profitable).

What Are Solar Cells Made Of?
Im Doing A Project On Solar Panels

Materials you will need…

A sheet of copper flashing from the hardware store. This normally costs about $5.00 per square foot. We will need about half a square foot.
Two alligator clip leads.
A sensitive micro-ammeter that can read currents between 10 & 50 microamperes. Radio Shack sells small LCD multimeters that will do, but I used a small surplus meter with a needle.
An electric stove. My kitchen stove is gas, so I bought a small one-burner electric hotplate for about $25. The little 700 watt burners probably won't work -- mine is 1100 watts, so the burner gets red hot.
A large clear plastic bottle off of which you can cut the top. I used a 2 liter spring water bottle. A large mouth glass jar will also work.
Table salt. We will want a couple tablespoons of salt.
Tap water.
Sand paper or a wire brush on an electric drill.
Sheet metal shears for cutting the copper sheet.

The first step is to cut a piece of the copper sheeting that is about the size of the burner on the stove. Wash your hands so they don't have any grease or oil on them. Then wash the copper sheet with soap or cleanser to get any oil or grease off of it. Use the sandpaper or wire brush to thoroughly clean the copper sheeting, so that any sulphide or other light corrosion is removed.
Next, place the cleaned & dried copper sheet on the burner & turn the burner to its highest setting.
As the copper starts to heat up, you will see beautiful oxidation patterns begin to form. Oranges, purples, & reds will cover the copper.
As the copper gets hotter, the colors are replaced with a black coating of cupric oxide. This is not the oxide we want, but it will flake off later, showing the reds, oranges, pinks, & purples of the cuprous oxide layer underneath.
The last bits of color disappear as the burner starts to glow red.
When the burner is glowing red-hot, the sheet of copper will be coated with a black cupric oxide coat. Let it cook for a half an hour, so the black coating will be thick. This is important, since a thick coating will flake off nicely, while a thin coat will stay stuck to the copper.
After the half hour of cooking, turn off the burner. Leave the hot copper on the burner to cool slowly. If you cool it too quickly, the black oxide will stay stuck to the copper.
As the copper cools, it shrinks. The black cupric oxide also shrinks. But they shrink at different rates, which makes the black cupric oxide flake off.
The little black flakes pop off the copper with enough force to make them fly a few inches. This means a little more cleaning effort around the stove, but it is fun to watch.
When the copper has cooled to room temperature (this takes about 20 minutes), most of the black oxide will be gone. A light scrubbing with your hands under running water will remove most of the small bits. Resist the temptation to remove all of the black spots by hard scrubbing or by flexing the soft copper. This might damage the delicate red cuprous oxide layer we need to make to solar cell work.
Cut another sheet of copper about the same size as the first one. Bend both pieces gently, so they will fit into the plastic bottle or jar without touching one another. The cuprous oxide coating that was facing up on the burner is usually the best side to face outwards in the jar, because it has the smoothest, cleanest surface.
Attach the two alligator clip leads, one to the new copper plate, & one to the cuprous oxide coated plate. Connect the lead from the clean copper plate to the positive terminal of the meter. Connect the lead from the cuprous oxide plate to the negative terminal of the meter.
Now mix a couple tablespoons of salt into some hot tap water. Stir the saltwater until all the salt is dissolved. Then carefully pour the saltwater into the jar, being careful not to get the clip leads wet. The saltwater should not completely cover the plates -- you should leave about an inch of plate above the water, so you can move the solar cell around without getting the clip leads wet.
now place in the sun with the magnified on top.
The solar cell is a battery, even in the dark, & will usually show a few microamps of current.
That’s it it’s that simple. If you’d a more detailed process & some pics (couldn’t put them here) it’s available along with some other DIY alternative energy projects at www agua-luna com

Installation Of Solar Panel On A Big Area?
Hello,
I Live In Uk, But My Father Has A Lot Of Lands In Turkey.
They Occupy Big Areas, There Is Absolutely Nothing Around, No Obstacles Like Buildings And Stuff.
He And Two Of His Friends Can Invest Up To 400,000 Euro In A Project.
As The Area Is Big, No Obstacles That Would Block The Sun, Long Days, Temperatures Up To 48 Degrees Celsius During Summer Time.
The Work Force And The Material Aren'T Really Expensive There...
I Thought About Suggesting Him Solar Panel Installation.
So My Questions Are:
1- What Are They Key Elements To Consider Before Doing So.
2- How Can I Calculate The Potential Revenue Per Annum (For Example If The Installation Is Done) By Having Details Such As The Land Dimensions And How Many Hours Of Sun There Is In An Average Day ?
3- How Much Does A Given Amount Of Kwh/Per Year Sells For...
4-Can He As A Particular Sell The Energy To A Company ?
(According To Turkish Energy Privatisation Law 3096 In 1984 Allowing Private Sector Construction And Operation Of Electricity Generation, Transmission And Distribution Assets)
The More Details You Have, The Better :)
Thanks,

The high temperatures are a negative, solar photovoltaic panels are more efficient if kept cool. Normally the roof of a building pitches the panels towards the light, with no buildings to mount on, you will have to install mounting posts.

The most efficient method would be solar thermal where reflectors or troughs concentrate the light to heat molten salts to thousands of degrees and then stored for when electricity is needed by the utilities. However, many such plants have been abandoned as they can only sell the power for about half the cost of operations, you loose money with such plants.

Which Water Heating System Is The Most Efficient, Realistic, And Price Effective?
I Am Looking Into Water Heating Systems And I Am Looking More Between A Regular Storage Tank Water Heater That Is Insulated To Prevent Heat Loss, Has Factory Installed Heat Traps To Prevent Escape Of Hot Water, And Has An Electronic Ignition And A Solar Powered Water Heater With A Regular Water Heater For A Back Up (Because I Have Heard They Usually Aren'T Able To Provide As Much). Which Is More Efficient, Cost Wise And Energy Wise?

It can vary by where you are. If you are in a cold climate, a solar water panel is not the most practical at certain times of the year.

A website with good information, http://www.builditsolar.com He is in Montana, where it gets really cold. So you can find some useful info there as well.

In general, the water heaters in the stores have a tag that indicates what the estimated cost to operate it each year based on a certain rate of cost for fuel, and you can use that as a guideline in calculating what your annual cost to operate it will be, then add the cost of the heater and the cost of installation if you are not doing it yourself.

You can expect a storage tank water heater to have a tank last 6 to 12 years depending on water condition, and maintenance of the anode rod.

Most on demand heaters have a jacket tank of about a gallon capacity, and most manufacturers have a warranty on those of 10 years.minimum.

The better solar water panels have a 10 year warranty at a minimum, but you have reduncy with the back up. And you may have extra issues with storage tanks, isolating the collector plumbing, etc.

It may not pay to have the solar panel heater installed at this time, but it can be used as a way of avoiding the likely carbon taxes of the future.

Solar Panel Installed House Roof?
What Does It Take To Install The Solar Panel? Cable Wires To Power Source Or Fuse Box? Anything Else?
How Does The Cable Wires Stay On The Solar Panel?

How does the cable wires stay on the solar panel?

With wire retention clips (4 per module) that are used to wrap the wire on the underside of the module frame.

The home run cables to the transition box (converts between types of wire with no electrical transformation occuring) or combiner box (joins multiple source circuits in parallel, with the positives fused for safety) are usually tied along the racking system components, and with conduit sections used as needed.

Racking is another big part of the installation. Don't just make your own homemade wooden rack, as these will weather away to nothing very easily, and cause great failures. GET a professionally designed metal racking system. PV modules are EXPENSIVE. Don't let the racking system cause them to break.

It also requires the inverter, if you intend it to connect to the main electric service.

If using multiple inverters, you need an AC combining panelboard to join them prior to entering the main electric service.

Otherwise, you need to think about how else you might be using them. If you are charging batteries, you need a charge controller.
